We
did a little calling around and found out that the Memorial at the Pentagon was
also open. We took the Metro there. It is a memorial for those who lost there
lives on 9/11. A friend I went to school
with, Brady Howell, was working there at the time and was killed that day. The whole thing made me cry. Sara was very affected, she kept saying that
none of these people did anything wrong, as we looked out of each individual
monument for each person. They have is
set up beautifully, the monuments for those in the pentagon face one direction
and those on the plane face another, they are divided by ages, which is
particularly sad, the youngest was 3, born the same year Sara was. I don’t think we would have had time to make
it there had everything been open. Being
there was an experience that will stay with me, and I hope my kids as
well.
